We are staying at the Poly mid-June. We haven't stayed there since 2009. If you are going to MK and you want to get there about 45 minutes before RD, do you take the resort monorail, walk to TTC and take monorail, or walk to TTC and take the ferry? Also, would there be an advantage now to taking resort monorail to Contemporary and walking to MK and going through the CR bag check? TIA!!!
Usually your best options are:
1) Resort monorail
2) Resort boat launch (not the TTC ferry, the smaller resort boat launch that picks up at the Poly boat dock)
I consider these more or less equal options. Walking to the TTC ferry would be a third/backup option but only in an extreme situation where neither the resort monorail or resort boat launch is available.
IMPORTANT NOTE - Paying attention to the resort monorail hours is CRITICAL. Hours can change from week to week and sometimes it might not be running that early. Make sure to pick up the Times Guide when there that covers your dates (they print a new one weekly). This is also a good website to check: http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/p/weekly-walt-disney-world-times-guides.html
As you can see, per this week's hours Monday and Tuesday the resort monorail doesn't start running until 8:30AM (9AM park opening), so not early enough to get there 45 mins prior.
While we're on the topic, just making sure you're aware of the new MK rope drop procedures?
Happy to answer any questions!
